Lots to say

[iam*who*iam]

I am very happy to have found a canadian site like this.

I am 24 and deal with many issues, so i'm sure i can find many threads to post in.

I am currently recovering from anorexia (after 7 yrs.), also self-injury (on and off for 11 yrs.). I also have PTSD/Dissociative disorders, a bit of each anxiety disorder.

I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, but i argue about the accuracy of it, because PTSD has very similar symptoms.

I like to read and research mental health issues, programs/services in canada and the us.

I also love cats.

I am very much about peace and have always wanted to make a difference in the world.

I recently started a petition to the government of canada, to provide more and better services (especially for PTSD and related issues.)

I am also trying to start a PTSD support group in my city since NOTHING for it exists..it's kind of a slow process, but hopefully the outcome will be good.

so, i am here for support, and to make some friends, maybe even find some who live near me.

Welcome Iam! Don't know where you're located but if you check out the top right link on this page entitled "Support Groups" you'll find a listing of various groups that get together to deal with various conditions.

I'm in Ottawa and found an anxiety peer support group (which includes ptsd sufferers) and will be starting a 14-week program once a week evgs on September 13. Not too late to join for anyone interested. It's offered at the Heartwood House free of charge. 613.729.6761

Blessings,

Jos?e

Is there a Canadian or U.S. national association or advocacy organization for PTSD who can help you form a local chapter, or are you starting from scratch?
